I started taking karate to improve my balance, self-awareness, focus and to improve my overall health. In the short time I've been coming to class I can tell my balance and focus have improved. The additional and unexpected benefits have been the sense of family True Balance karate has given me. While I continue to learn and improve on my very raw karate skills, I find coming to class a very enjoyable experience.

Such a welcoming and growth minded community. We appreciate how comfortable our daughter feels here and how the lessons from the team expand beyond just karate.

Both of my kids started taking classes at TBK a few months ago and they love it! All the teachers are patient, seem to love teaching kids, and overall do a great job of making class fun. My kids are still pretty young (5 and 6) and I love how the school focuses on increasing their self-esteem while encouraging discipline and good habits. We’re excited to see how they progress as they continue with the school’s program!

TBK is fantastic! The instructions give the right balance of discipline and fun. It has helped my daughter in confidence and athleticism.

True Balance Karate is such a great place for families to work on mind, body, and spirit. It is amazing that I can do Karate alongside my children. Master Helsdon and Master H have truly created a wonderful community here at TBK. All students are kind and welcoming. Give it a try - you won’t regret it!

True Balance Karate is like a second home to me. They make karate fun and give lessons that apply to your life so that you can become a better person. They give you the confidence to keep trying and push yourself, and they build you the foundation of life skills. They teach you karate in a great way that speaks to each person. Karate is now a part of me as it has been for many years. True Balance Karate is amazing. -Serena Elavia

I have recommended them to family, friends and will continue to do so. My son has improved in his discipline, self confidence and his help around our house. This is an amazing organization that is a community asset.

They do a great job on developing the whole child. Love that the focus is on self-awareness and personal growth. While it's still a group learning environment, which is awesome, kids are competing against themselves. Now that is refreshing from most other sports or arts these days where it's all about wins and losses. And TBK is inclusive of kids from all walks of life and all individual personalities, interests and abilities.

“TBK is my second home, and my favorite place to be. I started training here 8 years ago, along with my son. I had a background in martial arts from my youth, having done Tae Kwon Do for 10 years. I love the sense of community, leadership, and life skills that TBK offers. Over the years, my son and I came to class, made friends, and went to regional tournaments, which are part competition, part beautiful ceremony, and part large family reunion. I'm 52 and still going strong, and I'm going to test for my second degree black belt soon. I hope to be part of the TBK family forever.”

My son enjoys karate so much that whenever he hears dance music, he breaks out his favorite karate moves, and it’s amazing to see. The way the team at TBK has instilled confidence and power into my son has been very encouraging to watch, as he has decided to enter the leadership program and work towards the first degree black belt. It will be a long road ahead, but in the 18 months we’ve been here, the growth has been tremendous, and can’t wait to see what he does next.

“Nice place very friendly and they take great patience with their students.”

We love TBK and what is has done for our son. The instructors are passionate, patient and committed. They make karate not only fun, but inspiring. I love how they incorporate lessons of discipline, self motivation, kindness, responsibility and leadership into everything the kids learn.
